More Kuwait Segregation

It seems there is a new bill passing in the parliament in Kuwait. It is now official that within the next few days a law will come to passing that all gyms have to be completely segregated. Now that the religious right has a majority in parliament they will be passing more of these kinds of laws which is very sad. It seems Kuwait keeps going backwards more everyday.

There are so many problems being faced in Kuwait, but they seem to be free enough to make ridiculous laws. We power and water issues in all the areas, our country’s infrastructure needs an overhaul, our medical services needs a major overhaul, our communication infrastructure is abysmal and no plans have been set forth to at least solve these issues over the coming period. It is very sad that we are in this state, and I wonder what else they are going to propose.

There are both mixed and segregated gyms available for people to choose from. So people do have the choice of either and it really isn’t an issue that I think parliament should be taking up.

well, i can’t give a quite beneficial opinion regarding this issue !
since i’ve crossed my way through goverment schools until college where we had mixed atmosphere but segregated classes.
Nevertheless, i had around 3,4 mixed classes but it was awful since most of the dudes didn’t know how to handle female presence among them !
But ti be honest , now when i left school i felt it impact on me since i don’t know how to work among a group of males :/

Thats just messed up… its really sad actually.. i went to the clinic the other day cause i have not been feeling well and when i got in and less than 1 min later i was out.. i picked up the meds and left…

i got home and chucked the meds in the trash.

HOw can i trust what they are giving me if they dont even CHECK whats wrong with me?

Let's segregate segregation

Please do not despair. Having segregated gyms maybe a good
thing if the local movers and shakers are hellbent on putting Kuwait firmly on the pink capitals of the world map.
I think the Barliament are working overtime with the TEC in
promoting eco-friendly gay tourism to go hand in hand with halal tourism :)
Athough I have my doubts on how well this is going to go with the chaps from LA Fitness company who are thinking to
have the largest LA Fitness gym outside the US, open in Kuwait City as early as fall 2008.

The Conservative Liberal

Forget it – the segregation issue’s a lost cause. They are not going to revoke it for love nor money. However, there’s something for women in Kuwait to be happy about – they might soon be getting their very own dedicated lanes on motorways and on sidewalks in the capital :)

Come to think of it, getting women motorists to drive in express women only lanes will, indeed, be a good riddance for those men who actually, know how to drive.That will be a one-of-a-kind forward looking legislation, I think to come out of Kuwait, in a very long time :)

Expatriate

Eseentially, Kuwait is a democratic country. that is, the country is runed and decided by Kuwaitis. The citizens are the ones who selected the parliament members. It is the majority of the people in Kuwait who chose this segregation in Universities, private schools, and now in gyms. Whether I agree with this legislation or not is irrelevant. I accepted the democracy and I belong to the Kuwaiti society; thus I have to accept the outcome of the democracy. It is rather ironic how liberals in Kuwait complain of the demoracy when they were the biggest supporters of this democracy not too long ago.

Backward or forward is nothing but a personal opinion and perspective. What one may find backward movement, another see it as a very forward-looking acceleration. Take the segregation at Kuwait University: you have the national uniton o kuwaiti students, led by conservative parties that won by more than 51% of total votes, and the parliament members of which the VAST MAJORITY voted with the segregation in colleges and universities.

Fahed

People need to go out and vote to create the difference they want to see. When one says i’m not into politics, so I am not in the know of whom to vote for and therefore cannot vote. They are simply handing over all policies to the other side.
